I've been having a play with this (and read the other stuff on another thread), here's what I can diagnose:

VeraAlert picture/video integration is working fine from UI7 (latest build/addin) on Android 4.2.2 Galaxy Tab 10On the same system/network, VeraAlert is not sending any picture/video running Android 6.0.1 Galaxy S6 (not able to check on 5.x.x)On 6.0.1 the VeraAlert directory is NOT created upon install (but on the 4.2.2 system it IS created under the SD/Pictures folder)On 6.0.1 the 'Vera Alert' debug directory is also NOT created upon install, or when turning on DEBUGNo DEBUG logs can therefore be sent because nothing gets createdThe picture/video files are created correctly on the Vera server under the /tmp/log/cmh folder ready to be picked upCredentials on the 6.0.1 client are the same as the 4.2.2 client, both verifiedA long push on the file icon on the 6.0.1 client reports the same filename as that stored on the /tmp/log/cmd folderI suspect this is a local access permissions thing going on with 6.x of AndroidI've tried manually creating the directories but still get the 'Problems contacting Vera' message, also done the uninstall/re-install dance and still no local directory under 6.0.1My conclusion is therefore that 6.x clients CAN actually contact Vera and fetch the correct file, but this error is coming because the local 6.x client won't allow the file to be stored locally for viewing

Happy to test further if you can patch a field test file for me (for the debug at least).

Old thread, but SD card permissions on Android is definitely the issue. I'm not sure if the app can be updated by Richard to "ask for SD card permissions" on install. Regardless, see the three screengrabs on how to solve the problem by setting SD card permissions for VeraAlerts on an Android phone.

Thanks for the guidance to solve the issue of "Problems contacting Vera"

This indicates one of two problems a) Connection problem, bad account credentials or the remote servers are acting up b) Problem writing data ... so there is still a permission problem.

Thanks -- Although I had the authentication credentials already entered, I re-entered them into Vera Alerts and "Listed Vera IDs". After that things started working again. Perhaps they somehow got corrupted during the Nougat update?!?

Same here..Strange thing is that it has worked before, be it with an occasional error.Yesterday I chnaged my router for a new one, everything seems to be up and running again,I receive the Notifications of Veralerst on my Android phone, but when I click on the picture icon, it gives everytime "Problems contacting Vera" notification,and sometimes a "Download Error: no handler"notification.

Edit:I found that one of the LAN devices connected to the router (my smart TV...) caused network traffic problems,even internet connection for the whole LAN to go down frequently. Don't know the rootcause yet, but after disconnecting the TV LAN cable to the router, everything is working nicely, including the Veralerts.For now it looks to be solved (in my case).
